I appear to be paying for 6 or 7.
That's the thing, isn't it. It's alright if it's six or seven people you know and may care about. Your hounds, for instance. Your wife, your kids; people like that.

But when was the last time the government bought you a dog biscuit, a sheepskin blanket and a new collar? How about some of that saucy Parisian lingerie you like, a few nights in the Caribees and a new Range Rover? A knife-and-fork supper and a decent bot of your favourite champagne? And I bet they never even imagine you might fancy a pair of the latest y-3's, a new Nintendo game and a comic book, a bottle of pop and some sweets?

It's the bland, indifferent, impersonal nature of the thing that grates and destroys both spirit and soul. It isn't their fault really but government doesn't care what you want, it doesn't care what you like and it doesn't care what you get because it's not their money.
